TNGV convenes accelerator workshop at Harvard Radcliffe Institute
Thursday, October 26, 2023
The Transforming Narratives of Gun Violence initiative received a grant from Harvard Radcliffe Institute to bring together organizations and individuals from across the country who are doing narrative change work related to gun violence.
On Monday, October 16 and Tuesday, October 17, we came together to share and learn from each other. Participants included representatives from the medical community, arts and media schools, the entertainment industry, and community-based organizations from Boston, Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, Philadelphia, and more.
We are excited to continue conversations with this national cohort and explore possible cross-city collaborations in the future:
